Hello! My name is Kyleigh, and I am currently offering child (or multiple children), cat or household care. I have a BA in international studies, and have been working in education & youth development non-profits for 7(+) years. I have a strong background in lesson & activity planning for school age children. I have cared for up to 4 children on my own for an entire summer, doing outdoor & indoor activities, cooking breakfast/lunch & prioritizing reading/library time as well. I feel comfortable doing basic home care (overnight/vacation, dishes, laundry, vacuum/sweeping, etc). If I seem like a good match for your family, please connect with me!

Kimberly $33 per hour for 1 child

I have about 5 years of childcare experience with children ranging from 5 months to 12 years old. I’ve worked as a babysitter/nanny and in a daycare setting, caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I enjoy doing crafts, sensory activities, and outdoor activities with children, while also helping with meals and daily routines. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish and can communicate comfortably with children and families in either language. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and have also completed a Medical Assistant program, giving me additional training in safety and caregiving.

I've been the neighborhood babysitter and a part time nanny most of my life. I have the most experience with toddlers through age six, but I've also worked with infants and tween twins. I'm down to earth, have years of experience, and strongly believe that it's our job to raise the best, kindest, and well rounded humans that we can. I have been with my current Nanny Family since Jan 2020 and have picked up the rare date night for friends and family. I am looking for more part time work starting in September, preferably 8-16 hours, 1-2 days a week. I have a car, am happy to do light housework, go on adventures with the kiddos, and help with homework after school. I'm energetic and outgoing, with a love of math, science, and the imagination. I am also enthusiastic about date night sitting, nanny fill ins, and more! I miss working with kids while mine are in school! I’m COVID vaxxed and conscious, I mask when I’m indoors in public spaces. If you are a COVID conscious family I’m happy to discuss my risk factors and test before caring for your kiddo(s).

“Kas is an amazing babysitter. My daughter is nonverbal autistic and has mild cerebral palsy. She is a very happy kid and Kas has always helped her to have fun and be engaged with the world around her and does not find her disabilities in anyway a detractor from my child having a wonderful experience, Kas is patient and kind and an absolutely wonderful human being. Kas is always prompt and reliable and does a good job of following schedules and any special things that are needed, Kas is always happy to help with. Whenever we can get her, Kas is our first choice for Sitter because of what a wonderful job she does with my three-year-old. If it were possible to recommend to Kas any higher, I would do so.”

Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

Hello! I recently moved back to Washington after 13 years of living in Utah and am working as a paraeducator in the Renton School District. I graduated with a BS in health education and promotion from Utah State University in December and am CPR/First Aid Certified. I have experience working in childcare facilities with infants, toddlers, and preschool students as well as experience in an elementary school in Utah as an educational support professional. I am passionate about childhood and health education and love to explore different ways of staying active both indoors and out. I have grown up caring for a range of pets and am a huge animal person!

“Tabitha is a great sitter! I have hired her twice and my 7 year old is excited to have her continue to babysit. She’s friendly, energetic and engaged with my child. Tabitha is responsive with scheduling, arrives on time, and great with communication. ”

April $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m April and I’m an experienced pediatric RN here to help you find time to recharge while knowing your kiddos are safe, cared for, and having fun! I've worked with children from newborns to young adults as a pediatric and school nurse and babysitter. In addition, I've worked as a community RN supporting families during pregnancy and early childhood. I'm also a parent myself, so I know how much parents need time to themselves *and* how hard it is to trust anyone else with your kids. I'm certified in CPR/BLS and have extensive education in child development, allowing me to meet each child at their level. I prioritize communication and respect with both kids and parents, and I'm always happy to follow your lead. I’m also comfortable caring for pets and providing light housecleaning and meal prep.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
